I wouldn’t be a typical dad, that’s correct. Also no dad bod, dad jeans or dad jokes. No Disney vacations, movies or plastic crap. No accommodating picky eating habits, and no “family-friendly” restaurants. The pub for lunch, maybe.

But I think the average parent indulges their kids and changes their life to suit the desires of their children far too much.
